Winter Wonderland...I wonder.....


Snow, light and fluffy, heavy and wet...snow, sleet, freezing rain, ice and more snow...we've had it all and its only January 1st! Happy New Year! We're being buried here....
Already, we've broken records, and it never seems to stop. This picture, showing the "Love" stand, next to a bush, is now buried, unseen. Gone. Oh well, its winter in New England... the kids love it, the skiers love it....and its beautiful to watch as long as you don't have to drive in it.
I've missed alot of writing on here...many holidays and events.....Thanksgiving was wonderful this year. We went away for it, for a change. For a change, the dinner was made and i, did not make it. Was a beautiful day, spent with my sister-in-law and her boyfriend, at his new home which is almost finished. Was great company and good food.
Christman also has come and gone. Always a hectic time of year for us all. For the first time ever, I managed to do what I had always said I'd do...I got my shopping done two weeks before Thanksgiving. Though, was still wrapping it the night before Christmas. I'm glad its over.
And here it is, New Year's Day. A dinner of lobster and fresh baked stuff scallops was planned, until I came down with the flu the night before. I managed some soup. I've watched the snow plows most of the day, go by plowing and sanding. About another foot of the white stuff today; where are they going to plow it all?
So here, in a few short paragraphs, I've managed to catch up some. Its been awhile since I've written. i don't know whats been up with me for the past few months. Writer's block? Mental block? On over load with all the other things going on? Who knows. But, i try.

Thank you Griper for you kind words. Its not so difficult to take a "good picture" when there is so much beauty all around. It is however, so good to be able to hold onto it, lasting much longer than the snow will.
